Slervla and Montenegro are most dis-
satisfied of all. in Die belief that It
will be impossible to secure lmpartiil
mediation by the powers which in-
clude Austria, a nation, which shows
a threatening attitude against what
those states assert is a legitimate as-
miration . ,
Position of Austria.
Austria, according to them, Poe-
tically can be considered an interest-
ed party, as she has proclaimed the
inviolability of Albania, forcing the
Servians and Montenegrin* to aban-
don the Adriatic coast, and ha* de-
clared the necessity of extending the
frontiers of Albania for the sole pur-
pose of depriving Servla and Monte-
negro of territories they have Con-
quered,
Conceding that Austria does not
wish to renounce her traditional policy
of expansion in the, Blakans with the
abject ot reaching the Aegean *ea,
i an she, the allies ask. be considered
an Impartial judge in a matter In
which her vital Interests may be fur-
thered or endangered?
Fear Italian Aapirution.
The allies also fear Italian aspira-
tion. Italy lias protested the occu-
pation by Greece of the Island Of
Sasno, at the entrance of the Gulf of
Avlona. This attitude the administra-
tion at Athena has considered offen-
sive, claiming that Sasno was Included
in the Ionian Islands taken from
France by Great Britain in 180© and
ceded to Gree.ee In 18 64 Can Italy
also be trusted to give an impartial
judgment- ask* Greece?
Bulgaria’s attitude lias not been de-
termined. Hr. Daneff. chief of the
Bulgarian plenipotentiaries, appeared
tonight hopeful, but said nothing pos-
sible could be outlined until Turkey
presented her demand* in well-defined
form
\driaaople Not Mentioned.
In Itethar Pasha's vague statement
today, It. Daneff continued, Adrtan-
otde was not mentioned.
"What does that mean," he asked.
-Hoe* Turkey wish to convey the im-
pression that she ts determined to
keep Adl'tanople, or does she mean
this point to be settled directly be-
tween herself and Bulgaria? The lat-
ter supposition is impossible. If Tur-
key admitted the possibility of losing
Adrtanople she would prefer Interven-
tion by Europe.'
Dr. Daneff did not seem adverse to
European mediation, trusting "on the
triumphs of the pressure of public
opinion of the Christian eh lllxed world
over the jealous, rivalries and greed
of the governments of the powers
chiefly responsible for the prolonged
stale of Servitude, the cruel waste of
life and the impoverishment of the
Balkan* during the last century.
No Turkish Loan.
Humors that Turkey has concluded
a loan of many millions are untrue.
Tentative proposals In this direction
have met with the reply that Turkey
must first conclude Peace If slu* wish-
es money. This recalls .1. P Morgan' < j
analogous answer given to Count
Witte, the Russian plenipotentiary,
Khortly urter he landed In New York
for the Russo-Japanese conference at I
Portsmouth.
On the voyage to the United States
he had arranged that a journalist, a
mutual friend, should Introduce him j
to J. V. Morgan In an Interview with j
the latter, Count Witte made all use j
of his time to ascertain the posslbllltp
of launching a Russian loan in the
United States. to which Mr. Morgan |
replied that he could find no money |
for war, hut as much as he desired '
after the conclusion of peace.
There Is something going on every

Volunteers Watch Pass.
Volunteer soldiers from the States
of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon to the
number of 500, are stationed at the
small town of Meoqul near Baehim-
ba Pass, junjer the command of
Captain Olivas. These men are
maintaining vigilance over one of
the most stragc-tic passes to Santa
Clafa canyon which the rebels up to
a short time ago used to while away
the time during the extreme cold
weather. According to Captain Oli-
va*, there are no rebels in the can-
yon which Is about thirty miles ib
length. The volunteers' are ajso
maintaining the National Lines rail-
road which parallels the town from
a distance of three miles.•

ure we call your attention to the
administration of this department.
As you well remember during the last
winter, we were threatened with an
epidemic of spinal meningitis and yet
this department has lived within its
appropriation, showing good judg-
ment and economy under great pub-
lic excitement and pressure, when
they could easily have spent
$50,000.00 during the period of what
might have been a panic. This de-
partment Is the most efficient in the
state and Is growing yearly more im-
! portant, and lo meet the demands
must increase Its expenses.
We at least owe the members of
the board of health a vote of thanks
for the manner .In which they met
this crisis in the health of the city,

Peace Court.
©(oaiw
A law suit unusual In the annals of
%he Justice of the peace court, for the
reason that It was so hotly contested
to have a comparatively small amount
involved, was tried yesterday In Jus-
tice James .1. Murphy's court before
a jury. It was the suit of YVUIlani
Joel, a local salesman, against Jolm
H Nary, a wholesale jeweler with
offices In the Mill* building. Mr. Joel
filed suit recently against Mr. N’ar)
for $112, which he alleged was due
him as commission on sales made
while traveling for Nary.
The case was bitterly fought. Wing-
field Bihlth, attorney for Joel, made
a vehement argument and for a time
feeling ran high. Joe) was awarded a
verdict for the full amount and costs.
He has another case something sim-
itar coming up against Nary this
morning in the same court. *

Mr. Lewis told Mr. Wilson there was a I
good chance .of getting two Democratic j
senators from Illinois, informing him ;
that, while the Progressives held tnc j
balance of power, he thought there were j
among them men public-spirited '
enough to support the Democratic |
choices on the theory that the state by j
popular vote had put itself on record j
for « YVilson administration. Mr. Lewis ;
suggested to the president-elect that It j
might even "be openly understood that |
patriotic men who would give him the j
support of two senators would be re- ‘
garded a sworthy of proper reward 1
and recognition In the distribution of j
minority patronage."
The president-elect said tonight that
he had absolutely no comment to make
on this proposal.
Senator Ohomberlain said after hta
talk with the governor, that he had
urged the appointment of a Westerner
for secretary of the interior. Oregon,
he said, favored Judge W, 11. King.

She said that after she had obtained
the divorce and had been handed a
check for $150,000 as alimony, she
learned that her attorney. Louis War-
ner. had been paid by the Guggen-
heim*.
"Why did you take the cheek for
$150,000," demanded Mr. Untermyer.
"It was handed to me. If it were
handed to you I think you would t*ke
it,” replied Mrs. Guggenheim, with a
smile.
